The Common Menu Fields
Print Field
Print Disk
The Print Disk option is very useful if you want to copy the measurement
data in ASCII form to a DOS formatted disk in the disk drive. This operation
is similar to the Print All option except the destination for the data is the disk
instead of a graphics printer. Once the data is on a DOS disk, the data can be
loaded into a computer.
When you select the Print Disk option, the messages "Calculating File Size"
and "Writing byte xxx of xxx" appears at the top of the display.
When you select the Print Disk option, make sure the first line in the listing
you wish to print is in the state location box at the center of the listing area.
Lines above this box will not print.
When you select the Print Disk option from the pop-up, another pop-up
appears. From this pop-up you can name the file you are writing to the disc,
and also select the output format of that file If print partial is selected, the
start and end states are also specified. The output formats available are:
•
ASCII
•
B/W TIFF
•
GRAY TIFF
•
PCX
•
EPS
